Meniscal suture

How is the treatment of meniscus injury?

The degenerative meniscus injury (due to age or overload) is usually treated with non-surgical measures, while lesions due to trauma are treated with surgery.
In traumatic injury, part of the meniscus can detach and obstruct the knee, causing pain and locking.
New trauma on the injured menisci may increase the trace of the lesion and make the meniscus unrecoverable.
Depending on the characteristics of the injury, through arthroscopy, a suture (point or stitches), partial meniscectomy (removal of only the damaged and unrecoverable part), and even the meniscal transplant can be performed.
Typically, the return to work occurs within the first week after surgery.
